Description
Dove love can be so sweet. These two Mourning Doves were preening and loving each other on the railing on my back deck. I was so happy they were not aware of my presence.
These two were getting ready to make babies. When they're ready, they build a nest (or re-use an old one) made of a flimsy assembly of pine needles, twigs, and grass stems, unlined and with little insulation for the young. Over 2 to 4 days, the male carries twigs to the female, passing them to her while standing on her back; the female weaves them into a nest about 8 inches across.
